Ollie Bearman, Haas (P6) – 8/10
Bearman's Haas odyssey in Brazil was a rookie’s success, rocketing from P8 through the shunt symphony to P6, undeterred by a sluggish stop that briefly blurred his vision. Bold dives, zero blips – his effort was a whirlwind of wonder, schooling seniors with British polish and boundless bravery. Bearman-mania? Justified; this young gun is lapping up lessons faster than laps fly by.
Oscar Piastri, Mclaren (P5) – 6/10
Piastri's title charge twisted into turmoil at the Lap 6 restart, his Turn 1 lock-up sandwiching Antonelli into Leclerc and earning a 10-second stewards' slap that unfairly shuffled him to P7. The penalty pinched his podium shot. Oscar, blame the stewards, not the bravery; redemption's just a Vegas neon glow away.
